The DAM orchestra had been stationed on
the balcony, and the opening bars of 1.-The
Market on Saturday Night" attracted every
denizen of the chamber to the floor. The
only trading INDUCED in was promiscuous
interchange of missiles, composed for the
most part of little paper bags of flour or
bran, samples of grain, or tin pans of mill
stutfs. The fun began mildly, but in q half
hour the infection had spread until every
one present was bowling practical joker.
from the dignifed president to the messen-
ger boy on the fifth floor. One commits
sion man thoughtlessly wore plug hat,
but at the first sight of it, fifty
bags of flour went hurting in
that direction and the wearer looked like
one of the dismantled plaster casts of the
Exposition. or an ice statue at st. Paul
after the first thaw. Pandemonium reigned,
and there was no thought Of avoiding the
melee or escaping a share of the conse-
Quences. Two hours of underwriting fun
followed, and the festivities ended with a
foot race between the portly John Crosby
and c. NJ. Loring. The former was handi-
capped by his weight. and the lean and
nimble Loring easily WOE amid tumult OF
plaudits. At l O'Clock ''Old Hundred

moned to carry off the slain.

Il am almost forced to say that
cannibalism, after all, is the most
merciful form in which man has
ever lived upon his fellow-man.
1t is impossible for a man with
good heart to be satisfied with
this world as it now is. No man
can truly enjoy even what ne
earns-what he knows to be his
own-knowing that, millions of his
fellow-men are in misery and want.
When we think of the famished,
we feel that it is almost heartless
to eat. To meet the ragged and
shivering makes one almost
ashamed to be well-dressed and
warm-one feels as though his
heart was as cold as their bodies.
In a world filled with millions
and millions of acres Of land wait

can raise the food for hundreds.
